Whats the error msg?

0xc000007b
i hope the number of 0 is correct

[ The Windows error code 0xc000007b typically indicates an issue with running a program due to an incompatibility between 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Specifically, this error often occurs when a 32-bit application tries to load a 64-bit DLL or vice versa. It’s a common issue when running certain games or software that require specific versions of libraries like DirectX, Visual C++ Redistributables, or .NET Framework.

Common causes:

  • Mixing 32-bit and 64-bit libraries or applications
  • Missing or corrupted system files or DLLs
  • Outdated or missing versions of DirectX or Visual C++ Redistributables
  • Incorrect installation of certain software

Potential fixes:

  1. Reinstall the application – Remove and reinstall the application, ensuring the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) is installed for your system.
  2. Update DirectX – Ensure you have the latest version of DirectX installed.
  3. Reinstall Visual C++ Redistributables – Try reinstalling the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
  4. Run as administrator – Sometimes running the application with administrator privileges can help resolve the issue.
  5. Check for corrupted system files – Run sfc /scannow in the command prompt to scan and repair corrupted system files.
  6. Update or reinstall .NET Framework – Ensure you have the latest .NET Framework installed.

This error is often solvable by one or more of these methods depending on the cause.

So can you post a link to a sample app/code that when compiled shows the error?

send me an mail adress on [email protected], and i send you an examle included a finished app

Im using my phone at the moment and I cant download anything onto my laptop at the moment, so I can only look at source, but Ive used both in the past so might be able to help.

FYI, Larry Sands has been retired for a few years, which is why you’re having difficulty reaching him.

Larry has transferred it all to me to look after now he’s retired, but i havent had a gap this year to look into it.

And this is what makes me think its time for a career change but cant even get a job as a cleaner to get some money in!
